Ok let me start off by saying that I heard alot about this site and heard it was super great. But now with my questions.

Im 18 year old female senior in high school. About a 2 years ago I lost my virginty to my ex boyfriend of 1 year. We both lost it to each other. I knew he was clean and he knew I was clean. Then after that I had sex with 2 other guys. So I had sex with 3 guys my whole life. The second guy I was dating for about 6 months and we had sex off and on and then the 3rd guy I dated we only had sex once. I never had a 1 night stand, used drugs, and done anal sex. Im a very clean person and up to date with things. The only this is I had anxiety really bad after my frist boyfriend left me. So my doctor put me on zoloft but before the zoloft for the longest time I was upest because I always felt lightheaded and dizzy and so my docotor wanted to give me a FULL BLOUND COUNT TEST, Urine test and some other test to see if I was okay. She said all my resluts for everything came back normal. So thats when she said I had anxiety. Over a month in half I lost 10 pounds, and I havent been doing anything to work out. I was drunk a few nights those which cause me to throw up. I was also reading on the internet that zoloft ""Sertraline""" causes weight loss/weight gain as one of the side effects. I also had diarrhea, and no appetite for about a week or so. Then another issues I was haveing was allergies this summer. I got them really bad and got cold at first then turned into bad allergies. Then one of my tonsils had a white pus pocket on it and I started freaking out because I thought it was oral thursh and then 2 docotrs that I went to said it wasnt that. Just an infection that happens when you have a cold or something like that, and put me on antibotics now.

Another thing I was scared about was I kept geting vagnial cyst. I two on each side next to my vagina lips under the skin. You cant even see it only I can feel it. I do wear alot of tight clothes and jeans and I always sleep with underwear on, plus I shave alot and I dont tend to change my razors like I should do. THis who hiv scare has me freaking out. I havent had sex in about two years now because of this. I have really hypochondria. And I always seem to look up symptoms on the net saying how things like that can be hiv related. But I dont have a fever or rash, not warts, herpes, outbreaks nothing. I was wondering everything with the weight loss ( 10 pounds and a month and half and being on zoloft for anxiety ) and the vaginal cyst and my the white pus pocket on my tonsils sound I be scared of having hiv ? And what you say my risk and chances are of it and should I stop freaking out ??? Because everytime I go to the docotor and they test me for something they say Im fine.

so in second grade i found this small lump on the back of my neck on the right side at the hair line. i never told anyone cuz they taught us about cancer like 2 days before that and i got super scared i was going to die. every once and while i'll feel it and think 'i better get it checked out' but always forget. i'm now a freshman in college and wondering if i should worry about it. it never hurts or anything. and it's under the skin. i'm guessing that since i'm still alive and kicking i shouldn't worry about it. should i?

Many sites cite skin to skin contact as the source of Herpes 1 transmission. I have a herpes canker sore on my tonsil. Can I spread this when I kiss on the lips? Also, can it be spread through oral sex if it is on the back of my throat?

Additionally, what if I am not breaking out.. can it be spread then?

Thank you!

He is 3 years old and he CONSTANTLY wants to be drinking somethin.. literally as soon as he finishes one drink he wants another 5 minutes later all day long every day. it just isn't normal. i know being dehydrated can cause someone to be thirsty, but he couldn't possibly be dehydrated cause he is allways drinking (and he hasn't been trowing up or anything like that) i looked it up on webmd.com but there wasn't too many different causes for his sympyom... the only thing it said was dehydration or diabetes type 1... and i don't think he is dehydrated and i don't think he has diabetes... i think being constantly thirsty is his only symptom... i am taking him to the doctor on monday, but do u have any idea why he might allways be so thirsty?

from the avg of 120/80, my blood pressure was 120/100. I dont know why I have high bp, it doesnt run in the family, and i eat healthy. the only thing that was different was i had it checked the day after i came back from a 15 hour ride on the plane, therefore i got practically no sleep. also even before i was on the plane, i only slept about 3-6 hrs on avg, and i dont know why. however after i came back i slept for a good 12 hrs, and then i went to the doctors. i was also nervous and uncomfortable in the room. so is that why i have high bp, or just because i do?
p.s- i can feel my heart beating most of the time, it keeps me distracted and worried.

Does anyone know of a sandwich type bread recipe, without gluten, yeast or sugar, that is made without a special commercial mix.

I can make cornbread, muffins, crapes and waffles, but I can't find a decent sandwich type bread. The bread just crumbles, is very heavy and has no flavour.

I don't know where to post this type of question.

My grandmother, who is 83 years old, was diagnosed with ovarian cancer over two years ago. She has been stage 4 once, back to stage 2, and now back to stage 4. She has extreme abdominal swelling and pain (ascites). She had 6 quarts of fluid taken off her stomach 3 weeks ago, and 8 more quarts taken off two days ago. Her stomach has already begun swelling again. She can not take certain types of chemo because her esosphagus has been damaged. She was supposed to get chemo intraveneously yesterday, but the doctor would not allow it because she did not look well enough. My grandparents are old school and do not question the doctor on anything, so we have no idea how long she may have to live. Does anybody have any experience with a prognosis, life expectancy, quality of life? She is a Christian, she is ready to go to the Lord, but she continues to have procedures (parencentesis) done because her husband is not ready to let her go.
